I'm happy as hell for Phelps and his teammates - this, even though his good-natured all-American friendliness makes me think of those kind of never-had-a-problem kids who get excited because "the Final Four is coming up soon!!!" - but, yeah, good for him!
I do worry, however, that this will lead to an inevitable explosion in the popularity of swimming, although it does not require much in the way of pricey gear like a bicycle or a horse or any other to-be-lavished-over-fussily equipment. Just some, y'know, water and a swimsuit.
Also, lemme be (close to) first to call Phelps "THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF SWIMMING," "THE TIGER WOODS OF SWIMMING," "WATER'S DALE EARNHARDT" and "Le STEVE FOSSETT DE LA PISCINE," so I can go down in history as the grand-pere of such soon-to-be-everywhere coinages.
